The Scripture Way of Salvation: The Heart of John Wesley s Theology

Description

Taking its title from one of John Wesley s most important sermons, The Scripture Way of Salvation explores the soteriological content of Wesley s entire literary corpus (sermons, letters, theological treatises, journals, and the notes on the Old and New Testaments). Fundamentally a doctrinal study, it is historically sensitive to the subtle shifts and nuances of Wesley s continuing reflections about the processes of salvation and the nature of Christian life. Collins provides a clear discussion of Wesley s emerging views about the development and maturation of Christian life, and in so doing highlights the essential structure that undergirds and provides the framework for Wesley s way of thinking about the processes of salvation.
